Hey guys this is Angela and I am back for another DIY. everyone knows how to make DIY Sharpie Mugs, but not everyone knows how to make DIY Marble Mugs. So this week I will show you guys how to make a DIY Marble Mug. This is a sweet, simple, inexpensive projects that is so fun and addicting. Let’s get started!

Final Product:

SUPPLIES:

Basic white ceramic mugs

Nail polish (the dollar stuff is fine)

Wooden skewers or toothpicks

Warm water

A disposable pan or bucket

Nail polish remover

Cotton balls or cotton pads

Here Are The Steps:

Fill a disposible pan with warm temperature water (fill the pan with water depending on how high you want the color to go to)

If you are making multiple mugs, make a mark so you can fill it to the same spot each time

Then, add your nail polish by pouring it onto the surface of the water, adding more or less depending on if you’d like more or less white to show through your marble pattern

Use a toothpick or a skewer to rag around the nail polish on the surface of the water (this will create the marble effect on the mug)

Submerge your mug into the nail polish water (make sure it goes straight in and back out to crate the water effect)

Place your mug on a clear surface to dry (avoid rubbing the surface until it is dry)

For each mug you’ll need to dump the water and start over (even if you aren’t changing color) *we do this to make sure the nail polish doesn’t set and get gloppy*

Once it’s dry, a super light and thin coat of dishwasher safe ModPodge will make the mug protected when washing

Perfect for when you want delicious s’mores but don’t want to make it the old-fashioned way!

3. Watercolour Sharpie Pillows

Materials:

A blank pillow case (made of cotton)

Sharpies

Rubbing alcohol

Q-tips/ tissues

Tracers (optional)

Steps:

Draw the design of your choice using the sharpies. If you’re not an artist (like me) or you’re afraid of messing up, use tracers for better results.

Time to blend! Take a Q-Tip or a tissue and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Next rub the Q-Tip or tissue on the design that you have created. Or you can pour the rubbing alcohol directly onto the pillow and then fill it in.

Toss your pillow case into the dryer for about 20 minutes (depending on how damp it is). Take it out once it’s dry, place it on your pillow and that’s all there is too it.

Now you can have your own personal designed pillows around your home!

4. Coloured Flowers

Materials:

White flowers

Food colouring

Water

Cups

Steps:

Pick out any flowers of your choice. Just make sure that they’re white because that is mandatory in order for this to work.

Fill the cups with water.

Choose your desired colour that you want your flowers to be and then add the food colouring.

Let time take its course for a few days and soon the colour will kick in .

What a perfect decoration for the spring time!

5. A Home For Your Pet

Materials:

A card board box

An old t-shirt

Scissors

A pillow/ blanket

Decorative tools

Steps:

First you will need to take a pair of scissors and cut off the opening flaps of the box.

Take your t-shirt and put it over the box so that the neck hole is where the flaps of the box were cut out.

Make your pet feel more comfortable by placing a pillow or a blanket at the bottom.

Don’t forget to decorate! You can use paint, markers, stickers etc.

Why spend your money when you can use things you have at home that will make your pet just as happy?

Mix until all thoroughly combined. (if the liquid starts to make bubbles, turn the heat down)

Be cautious as you remove the foil from the heat and turn the stove off.(you can wait for it to cool down a bit before you move it)

Place some paper towel to avoid mess as you pour the balm into the container. Mix it with your toothpick.

Put your lip balm in the freezer for 20 minutes.*

*Tip: before placing your lip balm in the freezer, take the lid off.

How to apply:

Take your ring finger and swirl it inside the pot. Swipe the product across your lips then gently pat it in. Rub your bottom and top lip together to distribute the product evenly. Remember, a little goes a long way.

1. OREO Milkshake
Info:An OREO Milkshake is a quick and easy snack to make when in a rush and looking for adrenaline. All you need to make it is 6 or 7 Oreo’s, a cup and a half of milk, three scoops of ice cream (any flavour), whipped cream, a blender, a straw and a glass for your milkshake. All you have to do is plug-in the blender and pour in the Oreo’s, the milk and the ice cream. Make sure you blend it until it’s smooth. Finally pour it into the cup and add the straw and some whipped cream. Voila! It’s ready to be served!

2. Wire Rings

Info: If you are feeling crafty and you would like to make jewelery, try making wire rings! It is way to hard to explain how to make an infinity wire ring verbally so watch the video from the link down below to learn how to make one. https://youtu.be/oaTk-_0AyE0

3. Sharpie Mugs

Info: Looking for a way to customize your mugs? Try making sharpie mugs! Sharpie mugs are extremely easy to make but they are also easy to mess up so follow the instructions carefully. All you need is a mug, a sharpie, an oven, a timer, white vinegar and a cotton pad . Start by taking the vinegar and pouring a bit on the cotton pad. Now, clean the mug with the cotton pad to take off any oils or dirt that may be on the mug.Make sure your fingers do not touch the surface where you will be drawing. Start drawing! Make sure that you don’t make any mistakes or change your mind when doing this DIY. If you do, you can use your cotton pad and vinegar to clean it but it will not work up to 5 minutes after your work has been drawn. I recommend practicing what you want to write or draw on a piece of paper before you draw on the mug.When you are happy with your design, pop your mug into a un-pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at 350°F. Turn off you oven after 30 minutes and crack the door open. DO NOT take the mug out just then so it can cool completely and that there won’t be any cracks. You can bake your mug twice to really set in the sharpie drawings. Once your mug is out, it will look exactly the same but there will be a glaze on it and your drawings will be permanent.

Info: A watercolor sweatshirt is basically a white sweatshirt with watercolor paint on it. All you will need to make it is a sweatshirt, a watercolor dye kit, a plate, a sponge, a cup filled with water, a paintbrush and a piece of cardboard. First, take you cardboard and put it in between the front and the back of your sweatshirt so the water doesn’t soak through. Dampen your shirt with your sponge and the water. Mix the watercolors that you like on the plate. Paint your shirts with your paintbrush, when done leave it to dry. And you are done!

Info: A DIY chocolate bowl is made from chocolate, balloons, ice cream and your favourite toppings. As extras, you will need an ice cream scoop, a needle, a plate, a bowl, a spoon, parchment paper, an oven tray, microwave and a freezer. First of all, lay a sheet of parchment paper onto the oven tray. Melt some chocolate in a bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes and stir it every 10 seconds. Take the spoon and make mini puddles of chocolate on the parchment paper to be a base for the bowl. Blow up a balloon to a small size and dip it in the chocolate. Do this to all the balloon bowls you make. Put the balloons over top of the mini puddles and stick the tray in the freezer for about 1 hour. After taking the tray out, pop the balloons and peel them out of the chocolate bowls. Peel the bowls of the parchment paper and plate them. Fill the bowls with ice cream and other toppings and it will be ready to serve!

Mini Balloons Or Large Balloons

Glue

Scissors

Newspaper

Ribbon

Crepe Paper (in at least 3 shades)

Mix equal quantities of glue and water in a bowl to make your paper-mâché mix. Make sure to stir the mix well

Hang up a long string of ribbon with tape (about 90cm long)

Cut up some pieces of ribbon to the size of 30cm, to match the amount of piñata’s you will make

Cut the newspaper into equal sized strips, you will need enough strips of paper to cover the balloon in three layers

Blow up the balloon and tie it tightly in a knot

To secure the knot, tie it again with ribbon

Dip a stip of newspaper into the paper-mâché mix. Make sure when you glue the strip on, it does not wrinkle

Cover the balloon and when done once, repeat again twice more

Leave a round space at the top of the balloon near 2cm away from the knot

Leave overnight to dry using the ribbon to hang the balloon.

When it’s dry pop the balloon where the knot is, by poking it with a needle

Remove the balloon from the inside of the paper-mâché egg

Using the small hole at the top, stuff the paper-mâché egg with treats

Once you are done with filling the egg, tape the hole with the tape

Cut snips on one side of the crepe paper to give the egg texture

Now decorate the egg by gluing the crepe paper onto the egg (alternate between different colors)

Repeat all the way to the top of the paper-mâché egg

Poke a hole into the top of the egg

Take a piece of ribbon and knot it at one end

To finish the piñata, push the knot through to hole so you may hang it up
